Many enterprises use WAN (wide area network) data optimization as a way to save money, improve productivity, and manage network congestion. Aptimize is a practical solution for improving WAN performance because it handles all the optimizations automatically and does not require extra hardware or code changes.

Aptimize not only installs in minutes but it supports a number of platforms.

Sites based on Microsoft IIS technology such as SharePoint and ASP.NET can easily utilize Aptimize through an ISAPI filter or ASP.NET module. While Aptimize operates as an Apache module for Linux Apache based sites.

Configuration makes a number of changes to the outgoing data in order to increase performance. By combining multiple files into one Aptimize effectively reduces the amount of requests made on the server. By further compressing the combined data the content arrives much faster for the visitor, and reduces your page load times by up to 75%.

Aptimize achieves this by combining JavaScript and CSS style sheets that are often spread out into multiple files. Using innovative technology Aptimize also takes multiple images on a page and creates CSS sprite sheets, effectively turning several images into one optimized image.  This does two things, reduces the amount of requests made through the WAN, and reduced the size of the data sent.

Aptimize has a robust caching system that will save a copy of the optimized page for serving; this ensures a page is only processed once. Once updated content is detected on a page the software will automatically update with the new optimized page.

Aptimize software easily integrates with your server and is preconfigured with optimizations out-of-the-box, saving you significant web performance optimization hours. The software is also compatible with a wide range of common JavaScript frameworks including the more popular AJAX, DotNetNuke, Microsoft SharePoint 2007 & CRM, and many more. Browser detection ensures further compatibility as Aptimize will automatically detect which browser the visitor is using; this ensures no optimizations made will “break” the page.

Aptimize reduces bandwidth costs, increases YSlow grade, and reduces page load times for your visitors. Amazing boosts in WAN performance, painless setup, and an affordable price point are what has make Aptimize a clear choice for many organisations.
